Schumer on Clinton emails: 'All that stuff isn't gonna matter.'00:38

New York (CNN)CNN recently caught up with New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer at the Irish pub McSorley's in Manhattan.

During our conversation, we asked the senator, who served for eight years with Hillary Clinton, whether Clinton should be more engaged on the issue of using a private email account during her time as secretary of State.

"Oh, I don't know, I think Hillary is great," said Schumer. "I think, ya know, she's already said she wants the emails out. What do Americans care about? Good paying jobs, good country, good family. All that stuff isn't gonna matter."

He also said the use of the private email account will not jeopardize her prospects in 2016.
